@@AStylz28 They might cost you five dollars but when you buy in bulk things get cheaper. The paper displays break easily too, but don't allow for automation. The paper displays don't stop someone from changing the price of an item. These digital displays allow the store to relocate this labor to other places like stocking or service. You can't stop progress, stores just aren't going to function like they do in the next five years or so.

When it rains umbrellas double in price. When it's sunny and hot pools and ice cream will go up 20%.

Think about when TP was selling out, and now imagine them jacking up the price once their systems notice a lot of people buying them.

At least they won’t the excuse of forgetting to change the price tags. I’ve bought a few things that rang up higher than I was expecting it too when I go to checkout. When I ask why I’m always told that the old price tags haven’t been updated.

Kohls has been using this for many years. There is no controversy to the digital signs. If Walmart wants to change prices regularly it can and has been done with the paper signs. An associate just prints out a new price walks over and replaces the old sign with the new one. There is nothing sinister by going from paper to digital.

@John-bs5ug

Expect at Kohls everything has a sticker price on the product. At Walmart, you'll never know if it's really a "rollback" if you can't look behind back the rollback tag to see the regular price. Besides, clothes aren't going to fall on the digital tags and break them, but carts bumping into them, and falling cans, soda bottles and anything that's heavy will.

Guys the netherlands already does this for all their products in grocery stores. There's nothing wrong with digital signs. Everything will be ok. Chilll

I predicted this 20 years ago and now its happening.

These digital price displays are great. I like knowing what the cost of the item I'm buying is going to actually cost me, and what deals the product has.

It looks like a lot of the tags didn't have a price on them. Some people don't have a smartphone to scan stuff with. Everybody just assumes you have a smartphone and you want to scan stuff with it

As a Walmart associate, I can't wait for this! Also, all the complaints I see here still happen with paper labels! If you get an item just before I do a price change it will ring up the new price etc. Also the lady @ 2:20 the online thing happens daily as well. had a customer yesterday wanting an item she saw online that's $5 cheaper and we DO NOT match it, they have to order it for pickup to get the price.

This is a distraction to bump up the prices ...again and agin 😢

So how we gonna really knoq the current prices?. Imagine how much staff will be bugged for pricing and stuff going back at register ppl decided they now dont want.

The ones I've seen are much harder to read because of glare from the store's harsh LED lights, and the name of the product is much smaller than the paper tag. I've seen a lot of them that are broken because a cart banged into it or something heavy fell on it.

I walked by and knocked the whole price bar down at walmart yesterday, oops. Hope I didn't break it

Real time supply and demand adjustments. The price could literally go up before you get to the register.

I see no issue here Kohls has had these digital price tags forever, I'm honestly surprised no one else has used these tags till now.

People are definitely going to break the sad to say and think

Walmart prices are going up each day by 1% per week.

It was so annoying to change it near the freezer because I couldn't get the price tag off because it was frozen shut.

Didn’t Walmart remove their price scanners because they were to expensive to maintain? So let take out 4 or 5 price scanners then let put in digital tags in the thousands that can stop working and need to be replaced

I think it might be an improvement! WHY? Because in the Walmarts I’ve been in, often there is NO paper labels AT ALL❗️Their employees don’t seem to care, and maybe some managers feel the same way. Electronic pricing should fix that problem.

If only we had profit limits for these large corporations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If new stock is coming in or the supplier offers them a deal they can move the existing items in the store to make way for the new shipment

If they do try to remove both self checkout and implement digital signs and take advantage of them by making prices fluctuate, it will only mean that stuff is going to be left at the front more often. If something like beef goes from 3.99 to 5.99 people just might leave it with the employees and if there are no self checkouts who knows when they would be able to put that beef back.

Now they don’t have to physically change them now . I wonder what else are we gonna get lazy with

Okay Walmart better hit the mark they wont but if they listen they will. Make sure these have pixel change tech. So we can add cool discounts and flash deals that could be live and instant. Also GPS with someone in the aisle to be getting them recommend items they may need for items in there cart. Or you could have colors indicate when an item the customer is searching for is on the shelf for easy access. Also sell marketing space on that same shelf for coupons from manufacturers. This can pay for itself if done right. As well again for Uber shoppers it could be a guide tech for finding items fast. Lots of potential use if done right.

As per the digital pricing, do I think it is a cool idea to save time on changing prices with one click of a button in the stock room or the main office as like an update, yes but I do think that there should be a 7 day waiting period before the price can change again... So none of this... Monday $9.99 Tuesday $10.99 Wednesday $11.49 Thursday $8.50 Just my honest opinion

Look like they are likely battery powered with bluetooth but really they should be wired. Setting them all up may take longer but would eliminate the need for battery changes and the problem of dead/dying batteries causing them to not work or not work properly. Also being bluetooth makes the whole system more accessible to hackers. Also if wired it will lesson the chance of thieves trying to walk off with them. Honestly overall this could be a good thing as paper tags get lost and it's infuriating to not know the price of something. Without a price i will just walk away from something especially since walmart did away with the scanners that used to be placed in many locations within the stores.

Yeah like if the associates stock right ? Makes no sense

This is not new, Walmart has these digital price labels in Mexico

Whats the range? If you have to walk to every tag and do it by hand it's not really better. If they do it from the office, then sure. Also why is this major news?

It’s the blinking light for me that’s the issue. Guess I’m going to have to order online and let someone else get my stuff. All those blinking lights ugh

Not every hour, but evey two hours.

Because the employees are not putting the right price tags on items nor or they correctly changing the price tags when the swap stock out. So $500 dollar items get sold for $8 when i come in the store. That what happen when you hire a bunch of people and only a few correctly do the job. I believe if everybody hired to do a job did the job, there would be no jobs. It's a shame that instead of changing the curriculum, you go to an option that changes not the way a job is done but to assist the inefficiency.

We already do that here on Spokane night before a holiday season erase the prices after the holiday season they lower the prices back to the regular lower prices they were before they released it to make it look like you're getting a deal but you're not

But will the upc be readable so you know which tag corresponds to the item in your hand. You know how people just huck things back ANYWHERE if they change their mind. One thing....where are all those millions of watch batteries powering these displays and how do they knowwhen its battery needs replacement I dont know why so many are bellyaching. Restaurants have these. Mcdonalds has these and the economy hasnt crumbled. People arestill going there to gain weight.,

Bad Move I wont be scanning stuff its extra work I will just bug the staff for prices

How many jobs did that just destroy?, Since now I can program all the prices from an office.. Soon you only need a couple workers at the store because you’ll have wider shelving and people will be inside and it’ll be fronting the shelves automatically

If they can afford to do this, they can afford to hire cashiers and lower their prices.
